SLAVEN BILIC’s Hair Transplant

Football – or soccer as it’s known in the US – is a sport stuffed with hair transplants. It’s not just the players, though, even the managers are getting hair transplants to restore their thinning locks. So, first up in the list of footballing hair transplants: Slaven Bilic.

Slaven Bilic before hair transplant

Bilic’s first experience of the premier league came in 1996 when he was signed to play for West Ham United.

Here he is – aged 28 – with a full head of hair.

After a season at West Ham and a brief spell at Everton, his playing career ended in 1999.

Since hanging up his boots, Slav has become better known as a manager of various teams. Currently, he’s manager of West Ham United – the club he formerly played for.

But the stress of managing a premier league club started to show – and Slaven Bilic’s hair became noticeably thinner than in his playing days.

And judging by the pattern of Slav’s hair loss, he’s got more to come. Although the newly transplanted hair should last a lifetime, it seems likely that his hair loss will continue behind the hair transplant.

For now, though, it’s a big improvement. I bet he wishes reversing West Ham’s fortunes was as easy as reversing his hair loss!
